Pictures that illustrate some of the features of the creatures that we share the planet with but that may not be obvious to the naked eye. The closer you look, the more you see, the more wonderful these things become! Pictures taken with a strobe, laser trigger and other jiggery-pokery.

Strobed macros

Pictures taken using a flash gun, a computer-controlled focus rail and other devices
